and stroke length
i would like to fit a coil to my orange 5 but want to check the stroke and the eye to eye
i have tried searching but had no luck
190 X 50 mm 😀
p.s what lathe/s do you have?
I don't suppose you know how to get the shock out of the 5 frame do you? I've undone the bolts but the threaded part seems to be stuck.... itching to replace my old swinger with an RP23..
Drift, or smaller long bolt to tap it through carefully.
i have loads at work none at home mond you this would be a bus mans holiday
what happen if i ran a DHX 200mm 2.25" would it be ok if i ran it with sag?
bingo !, thinking of trying a coil myself just for the hell of it. local route includes some fast rocky lightweight DH, vanillas up front are far better than the floats i had so im thinking that a coil at the back will improve the ride compared to a rp23,,,, is this reet ?. couldnt give a **** about the extra weight
anybody used or recommend a coil for the 5 and maybe include the pros and cons of using one.
cheers.
Swingarm may touch the seattube on full extension.
bugger i can not find a 190 coil shock but i am blind when it comes to these things.
did you need some machining doing
No just lathe geekery 😀
Well unless you have some CNC ones for some piston manufacture...

How would this happen? Surely if the eye to eye of the shock is the same then there shouldn't be a problem? 🙂
i may well be interested in the shock can i have some pictures when you get a minute heavy spring please !!!!!!!!!!!!!

pastcaring : what's the reasoning behind selling the van rc? I'm considering one for my 5 but if they aren't much cop I'll reconsider
larrys your man, just 'phoned a friend' and have a mates rates bargain.
thanx anyway. 😉
still interested in opinions on putting a van coil on the back of a five if anybody has the experiance of one ??????
Hugh b, the standard shock is 190mm eye to eye the 200mm is 10mm longer 😀
I run an old vanilla rc in the back of my five. Transformed the bike compared to the old swinger 3way that was utter garbage.
Van rc is good, but are really good when tuned as basic valving is exactly that.
Waiting on DSP Duelers to come through in 190mm and 200mm lengths but not due till end of April earliest 👿
I keep thinking about swapping my year old rp23 bv for a coil, anyone?
ORANGE 5, COIL SHOCK
YAY OR NAY ????
wat is this dsp malarky ?
Ah sorry LoCo, I miss read!
Thanks
Hugh

i got it for a little experiment (turner 5spot), that didn't work out, so never tried it.
Under intrest i have been using an Manitou IX6 for a couple of years and transformed the 5
and a lot lighter But looking to try the ELKER 5 Stage as can't be faffed in the lengthy set up
of the Cane Creek
Those dsp ones look awesome
A MATE OF MINE RUNS A DHX ON HIS FIVE HE LOVES IT ;O
